File Upload to Non Browser/Node Client

[Grant MacDonald]

Hi folks.  I am using node.js on the server and a product called QT on a Linux client (C++.)  The server and client are communicating great using TCP Sockets.  I'm trying to figure out the best way for the server to send a file to the client.  I could open the file on the node.js server side and send a block of data at a time over the socket connection to the client, however, I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it.  File size transmitted will usually be about 1mb in size.

Thanks. Grant.
